	Dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dance is also used to describe methods of non-verbal communication (see body language) between humans or animals (bee dance, mating dance), motion in inanimate objects (the leaves danced in the wind), and certain musical forms or genres.
		One of the earliest structured uses of dance may have been in the performative retelling of mythological stories--Indeed, before the introduction of written languages, dance was one of the primary methods of passing these stories down from generation to generation.
		But, despite, in his interpretive dance the distant roots of the present day 'Kathak' might be traced; so those of 'Bharatanatyam' and Odissi, in his ritual dance; and, of 'Mohini Attam' and 'Kuchipudi', in his secular dance.

	Dance music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The term baroque has also by extension been used to describe the music and literature of the period (see baroque music), but it has a much less clear meaning in these fields, and is more a convenient label than a stylistic description.
		Outstanding baroque architects included Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, Francesco Borromini, Pietro da Cortona, Baldassare Longhena, and Giovanni Guarini in Italy; Louis Le Vau and Jules Hardouin-Mansart in France; the Asam brothers and Balthasar Neumann in southern Germany; and Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor, and John Vanbrugh in Britain.
		In music, the baroque can be traced to the Camerata, a society of poets and musicians who revived elements of Greek drama and developed the opera form in Florence; Claudio Monteverdi and Giovanni Gabrieli were important figures in early baroque music, introducing exclamatory and polychoral effects.

		In fact, for people living during the 17th and 18th centuries, Baroque music and Baroque dance were two facets of the same art form, much as today tango music and the steps of the tango dance are both simply parts or the Argentinean tango.
		Dance masters were well trained in music and were expected to be able to compose the music for court ballets, choreograph the dances, and dance in performances.

		Crawford stresses the relevance of dance study for musicians: "I think when you are playing a piece of music and it says "Gavotte" or "Sarabande" or "Chaconne," if you can actually feel what it is like to dance that dance it'll have an obvious effect on how you play.
